1. The Quick Installation Guide

Installation

PS/2 IP-KVM switch redirects local keyboard, mouse and video data to a remote administration

console. All data is transmitted via IP. PS/2 IP-KVM switch can be used in a multi administrator and

multi server environment as well. Besides, PS/2 IP-KVM switch is a KVM switch, which can also be

used with a local console. Connecting PS/2 IP-KVM switch to the host system

In order to connect the PS/2 IP-KVM switch perform the following steps:

1. Connect the power supply to PS/2 IP-KVM switch.

2. Connect the monitor to the PS/2 IP-KVM switch.

3. Connect the keyboard to the PS/2 IP-KVM switch.

4. Connect the mouse to the PS/2 IP-KVM switch.

5. Plug the HDDB15 pin connector of a 3-in-one cable into any label computer port on the rear of

PS/2 IP-KVM switch unit. Then connect the HDDB-15 pin male type for PC video, the purple Mini

Din 6 pin female type for keyboard and the green Mini Din 6 pin female type for mouse. To plug

these three connectors into the respective ports of computer.

6. Repeat item 5 procedure to all of PC ports of PS/2 IP-KVM switch

7. Connect Ethernet and/or modem, depending how you want to access PS/2 IP-KVM switch.

Video modes

PS/2 IP-KVM SWITCH recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When running

X-Window on the host system, please don’t use any custom mode lines with special video modes. If

done so, PS/2 IP-KVM SWITCH may not be able to detect these. You are on the safe side with all

standard VESAvideo modes. Please refer to Appendix C for a list of all known modes.

Initial IP configuration

Initially the PS/2 IP-KVM switch network interface is configured with the parameters shown in Table

1.1. Parameter Value

IP auto configuration DHCP

IP-Address 192.168.1.22

Net-mask 255.255.255.0

Default-Gateway none

IP access control disabled

Table 1.1: Initial configuration

If this initial configuration doesn’t meet your local requirements, you need to do the initial IP

configuration. Use one of the following ways:

1.Connect the enclosed NULL modem cable to the serial interface on the rear side. The serial

interface needs to be adjusted with the parameters shown in table 1.2:

Parameter Value

Bits/second 115200

Data bits 8

Parity No

Stop bits 1

Flow Control None

8/16/32 PS/2 KVM over IP switch

Table 1.2: Serial parameters

Use a terminal software (e.g. hyper term or minicom) to connect to PS/2 IP-KVM switch. Reset PS/2

IP-KVM switch and immediately press <ESC>. You will see some device information and a ’=>’ prompt.

Enter the command ’config’ and press <Enter>. After waiting a few moments you may configure IP

auto configuration, IP address, net mask and default gateway. Pressing <Enter> without entering

values does not change settings. The gateway value must be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway) or any

other value. You will be asked if the values are correct and get a chance to correct them. After

confirming, PS/2 IP-KVM switch performs a reset.

2.Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect PS/2 IP-KVM switch to a subnet where a DHCP server is

available. After the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to PS/2 IP-KVM switch you can use

the web interface to configure the device.

Web interface

PS/2 IP-KVM switch may be accessed using a standard web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol

or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of PS/2 IP-KVM

switch into your web browser. Initially there is only one user configured who has unrestricted access to

all PS/2 IP-KVM switch features:

Password pass (factory default)

Please login and change the password immediately according to your own policies.

The Remote Console

The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system to

which PS/2 IP-KVM switch is attached. The web browser who is used for accessing PS/2 IP-KVM

switch has to supply a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. The Remote Console will

behave exactly the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote

system. That means keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual way. Open the console by

choosing the appropriate link in the navigation frame of the HTML fronted. Figure 1.3 shows the top of

the Remote Console.

Figure 1.3: Top part of the Remote Console

There are some options to choose from and the important ones are the following:

Auto Adjust button

If the video displayed is of bad quality or distorted in some way, press this button and wait a few

seconds while PS/2 IP-KVM switch tries to adjust itself for the best possible video quality.

Sync Mouse

Choose this option in order to synchronize the local with the remote mouse cursor. This is

especially necessary when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. In general

there is no need to change mouse settings on the host.

Video Settings in Options Menu This opens a new window with elements to control the PS/2 IP-KVM

switch Video Settings. You can change some values, for instance the brightness and contrast

of the picture displayed, which may improve the video quality. It is also possible to revert to the

8/16/32 PS/2 KVM over IP switch

default settings for all video modes or only the current one.

2. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing PS/2 IP-KVM switch. PS/2 IP-KVM switch can save your MONEY, TIME,

SPACE, EQUIPMENT and POWER. PS/2 IP-KVM switch defines a new class of remote KVM access

devices. PS/2 IP-KVM switch combines an 8/16/32-port KVM switch with digital remote KVM access

via IP networks and comprehensive system management.

PS/2 IP-KVM switch provides convenient; remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet. It

captures, digitizes, and compresses video signal and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to

and from a remote computer. PS/2 IP-KVM switch provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access

and control. Remote access and control software runs on its embedded processors only but not on

mission-critical servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or impact on network

performance.

Furthermore, PS/2 IP-KVM switch offers additional remote power management with the help of

optional available device.

PS/2 IP-KVM switch supports consoles consisting of PS/2 style keyboards and mouse, and HD 15

video output. PS/2 IP-KVM switch will automatically detect the current video mode of the console,

however manual fine-tuning is recommended to receive the best video quality. PS/2 IP-KVM switch

will accept video streams up to 110 MHz dot clock. This results in a screen resolution of 1280x1024

pixels with a frame rate of 60 Hz.

2.1 When the server is up and running

PS/2 IP-KVM switch gives you a full control over the remote server. The Management Console allows

you to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send special commands to

the server. You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server. Using the Console Redirection

Service, you are able to do the following:

I. Reboot the system.

II. Watch the boot process.

III. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment.

IV. Run special diagnostic programs.

2.2 When the sever is dead

Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through using a remote management device.

Nevertheless PS/2 IP-KVM switch gives the administrator valuable information about the type of a

hardware failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with

different chances to happen:

I. Hard disk failure 50%

II. Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%

III. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%

IV. CPU fan failure 8%

V. RAM failure 4%

Using PS/2 IP-KVM switch, administrators can determine which kind of serious hardware failure has

occurred (See table 2.1).

Type of failure Detected by

Hard disk failure Console screen, CMOS set-up information

Power cable detached, power
